Cheapo DVD Review: Cowboy Zombies (2016)

  Arizona 1870s.  A small one-horse town is just about to execute a pair of outlaws when there's a mysterious flash in the sky. Much to everybody's horror, the execution fails to take and the hanged outlaws continue kicking and trying to bite anything in range.
 Meanwhile a US marshall has just shot some more outlaws - who have nothing to do with the first two - but they decide that being dead is no fun and get back up again. 

 With the dead risen and walking the earth - or shambling anyway - a motley group of survivors are trapped in a saloon and must try and find a way to not get violently eaten.  

You'll note the title is Cowboy Zombies rather than Cowboys vs Zombies. because that title was already taken. See little piccie to the right. (Warning you now: don't bother trying to find that DVD. It's not worth it.)

Cowboy Zombies is an OK idea but the execution falls flat. Or to be blunt: this movie is just dull.   The pace is slow with few high points and way too much padding, with some scenes being needlessly repetitive. .  The end result is that I found Cowboy Zombies a real slog to get through.  The final ten minutes take things up a notch but by that point it's too late.

Special effects are restricted to a healthy dose of white paint and telling the zombie cast to act stoned and snarl a lot.  Not what you'd call impressive.

How much did i pay for this: £1.
Was it worth it: Not really. If this was a 30 minute short on Youtube then maybe it might have worked. As a full length movie Cowboy Zombies fails to deliver. Avoid./
